Chapter 1001

“Wait!” Seraphina suddenly called out to the man and took her phone camera out, smiling. “A lovely scene like this should be recorded and shown to the public! Everyone will get to enjoy this over and over again on the internet.”

“I pity you, Murphy, but you sure aren’t a weakling. Color me impressed!” Renee had given up at this point.

She merely regretted not being able to leave a proper will to her friends and family.

‘I probably won’t be able to rest in peace if I die such a sudden death.’

“Looks to me you’re still resisting. Well, I could tell you one more thing…” Seraphina said slowly as she captured Renee’s embarrassing state. “Do you know why Stef suddenly broke up with you out of nowhere, even though your relationship was going really well? And why he chose to be with me instead?”

Renee scoffed, finding this quite woeful. “How insecure do you have to be to show off your amazing love story at this moment? Why else would he do that? Isn’t it all because you are childhood friends, and he’s so deeply in love with you?!”

“Tsk tsk tsk, never have I ever imagined that I could make you feel jealous, Everheart. What a shame…

that I don’t actually have what it takes to do that.” Seraphina let out a long sigh, speaking truthfully. “I really feel bad Stef, you know? To think the woman he swore on his life to protect views him in this light.”

Renee froze, noticing something off with her statement. Her tone was stern as she questioned. “What do you mean by that?”

“Stef didn’t agree to date me for three months just because he wanted to continue working with the Murphys. In reality, he doesn’t even care if my family would save him, nor does he care about the possibility of H Group facing bankruptcy!”

“All he cares about is you,” Seraphina replied. She didn’t mind divulging such information with a soon-

to-be corpse. Hence, she continued on with her story, revealing every single detail to the woman.

“Three months ago, I received an anonymous video—clear evidence that you were the one who murdered Briar Desrosiers. What do you think would’ve happened to you if I handed that clip to the police?”

“You… How did you…” Renee was once again shocked.

At first, she had really given in to her faith and intended to go out with pride. Yet now she felt deflated, finding herself an unforgivable sinner. She couldn’t even bring herself to speak against Seraphina.

“How did I get my hands on that tape?” Seraphina shrugged, completely unaware as well. “I have no idea who was the saint who sent me this either. They even kindly reminded me that I could use this as leverage to ask Stef to be with me.”

“I wasn’t sure if that could work, considering how well I know Stef. He hates being threatened. And I thought he wouldn’t sell himself out just for you, right? You’re not that important to him, right?”

“Wrong. Haha, I didn’t even know if I should be happy or sad about this. He actually agreed to date me, and he allowed me to do anything to him. All he wanted was for me to destroy that clip and never tell a soul about the murder.”

Seraphina started tearing up as she spoke, stumbling slightly. No one could tell if she was mad, jealous, or sorrowful at that point. She just kept choking back tears, repeating her words. “I don’t get it! I just don’t get it! You’re no better than I am, so why does he love you so much?!”

Renee gulped. Intense despair flashed across her gorgeous face as she whispered to herself, “So that’s why. He’s such an idiot! I knew he wouldn’t change so easily. That big stupid idiot!”

Still mumbling to herself, warm tears trickled down her cheeks. However, she was crying from relief instead of resentment and misery.

“Thank you, Murphy, for telling me the truth before I die. At least I wouldn’t die misunderstanding his actions.” Renee’s gaze seemed more determined and courageous.

At the very least, she finally realized that her only relationship in life was true and beautiful. She was happy enough to know that it wasn’t a train wreck.
